Fury

[palef]

As we are arguing Fury's qualities, should we say compared to what?  In my opinion, the highest-quality military movies/series are:

Band of Brothers
A Bridge Too Far
Das Boot
Midway
Patton
Lawrence of Arabia
12 O'clock High
30 Seconds Over Tokyo
Grave of the Fireflies
Theirs is the Glory (because everyone in it was there)

Ones that almost make it into that list for me, but not quite:

Saving Private Ryan (awesome cinematography, good acting, plot not the best because it is, after all, a Spielberg movie, so it has to have something enormously stupid)
The Beast (great movie, but just not quite up to level of the above for reasons I can't articulate)
Black Hawk Down (I thought it was great -- maybe I should put it in the above, but not sure)
Battle of Britain (excellent, but not as polished as the above)
Piece of Cake (ditto)

"When Trumpets Fade" could easily be added to that list and makes a mockery of "Saving Private Ryan".

Mockery? How so (out of curiousity)?

 pay attention to the movie,they dont look the same

Comments like "I'm not a Brad Pitt fan, he is a horrible actor and I never enjoyed any of his movies" and "Brad is a brutal actor" are either from boobs or clueless dolts who haven't seen movies such as 12 Monkeys, True Romance, or Fight Club. 

 

for sure

although "true Romance" cant really be used to display his acting..(even though he was awesome in it, I think Gary Oldman stole the show )..Snatch on the other hand

Oh, yeah!  Gary Oldman is *awesome* in True Romance.  He is also one of my favorite actors.

They do if you consider the frame exposure rate of typical 24 fps film. It can look even more like lasers if you use longer exposure.
